A step back in time to play this entirely natural and unique links. The new holes to replace those lost through coastal erosion have fit in quite well.

Royal North Devon's moods change that much and often that it has a little something for everyone. You want to play fiddly chips over humpty-bumpty terrain... check. You want to open the shoulders... check. You want to be tested with precision... check. You want unusual hazards... check. While the reputation of the course may have waned in recent decades, there can be little doubt Westward Ho! is essential golf. As such, it is a required experience for any who admire the history of the game, the museum piece of architecture, but also and likely most importantly, the simplicity of the golf. I once stated that all people who fly into England with golf clubs should be made to pay a £5 golf tax to support Westward Ho!...one of my better ideas.

Olde Worlde links with some charms, but they fade as the round goes on. Reasonable condition and fairly playable.
